IGH

If you keep the house in the family

You could keep the family in the house

If you on the run, you got family in the South

We used to watch Annie, are you okay on the couch

My cousin used to slam me til I punched him in the mouth

My aunty used to cook for 20 people every week

My uncle in the basement even if they never speak

He come up grab a beer sometime

He kiss her on the cheek

Know how to fix a plate or fix a bike or fix a leak

Fried catfish

bootleg Madea plays

Nosey aunty like, Let me see your grades

Smart aunty like, I could tutor him

Crazy aunty like, If they fail him Ima shoot at them

Small donations under false names and pseudonyms

Family pots for school clothes

Get the uniforms, not the cool clothes

Having no drip like the pool closed

Least I had a jacket some of the kids at my school froze

If you not in the building it's getting bulldozed

Gotta keep the crib man

Gotta keep a spot for all the lil cousins to live in

Gotta keep a spot in case somebody get sick

Cause if one of us get on then everybody get rich

We gotta stick together

and looking at the puzzle

We gotta fit together

and looking at the struggle

We gotta lift together

and not just on the holidays

We gotta get together

it's either now or never

Gotta get this shit together

It's not the Yacht Club

But you should see the waves when we float through the Block Club

Neighbors on the yard like they locked up

Kids in the street like Bud Billiken

Old man used to be a Panther thug militant

Community policin'

Barbecue 2 trays a Harold's 50 piece and lemon pepper

onion powder garlic powder seasoning

Four square killa man

Slap boxin teasin cackling kekeing crackin up wheezing

This the homebase

You gotta watch em, they a right time ya at the wrong place

If ya on ya celly phone more than a phone case

they'll take your crib to go slide on ya home plate

We need CBA CBA CBA Barry

Before they build another golf course library

or send an eminent domain to Miss Mary

it's gonna get scary young Jeffery young Larry

We gotta stick together

and looking at the puzzle

We gotta fit together

and looking at the struggle

We gotta lift together

and not just on the holidays

We gotta get together

it's either now or never

Gotta get this shit together
